![Evil May Day or Ill May Day is the name of a xenophobic riot which took place on 1 May 1517 as a protest against foreigners (called "strangers"[1]) living in London. Apprentices attacked foreign residents ranging from "Flemish cobblers" to "French royal courtiers".[2] Some of the rioters were later hanged,[3] although King Henry VIII granted a pardon for the remainder following public pleadings from his wife Catherine of Aragon.](https://cdn.bsky.app/img/feed_thumbnail/plain/did:plc:yccb356nho6xdgyslugkgij4/bafkreif2kvn64t5jodfcmle6uylndgsnoy74mwxhfwndiiffl3za6umn3a@jpeg)

Bell accused immigrants of stealing jobs from English workers and of "eat[ing] the bread from poor fatherless children".[8]
Bell called on all "Englishmen to cherish and defend themselves, and to hurt and grieve aliens for the common weal".[9][10] Over the following two weeks, there were sporadic attacks on foreigners and rumours abounded that "on May Day next the city would rebel and slay all aliens".](https://cdn.bsky.app/img/feed_thumbnail/plain/did:plc:yccb356nho6xdgyslugkgij4/bafkreig254w53gnqk43zzk7xmdpja4slpjddm3ihyg5jywvkf3bs6sjowq@jpeg)
